Launched in 2004, the Roxy Chicken Jams are the first and most prestigious stand-alone all-girls pro snowboarding events in the world. By bringing together the best riders, the best resorts and some of the biggest prize purses in women’s professional snowboarding, Roxy fosters greater exposure and a higher level of competition for the sport and its riders.

Each snowboard season features two Jams: one in North America at Mammoth Mountain, and a European event held this year in Saalbach Hinterklemm, Austria. The Roxy Chicken Jam in Austria runs January 8-10, 2010, while the event in the United States runs March 25-28, 2010, crowning the Swatch TTR Women’s World Champion.

This year the weekend-long event at Mammoth Mountain will feature the all women’s professional snowboard Slopestyle and Superpipe competitions, as well as a free festival area with games and goodies. Roxy snow team riders Torah Bright, Amber Stackhouse, Lisa Wiik and Kjersti Buaas, along with snowboarders Jaime Anderson, Kelly Clark and Elena Hight will compete for the title and the $50,000 prize purse.

The Roxy Chicken Jam includes an open-registration Qualifier round for amateur snowboarders to compete for one of five spots in the Roxy Chicken Jam Main Event alongside the top pros.

In addition to the 6-star superpipe and slopestyle competition, spectators will again enjoy a huge free concert in the Village at Mammoth featuring The Bravery and N.A.S.A.
